While audience-building is a central part of participation, its black box has rarely been opened. Born out of political entreaties, the “Conseils citoyens” are part of this logic of institutional audience-building. Fed by social science research on participation, which has highlighted its selective dimension, the “Conseils citoyens” seek to involve the “voiceless” by randomly selecting a group of laymen from amongst the population. However, in view of recruitment difficulties, audience-building for these “Conseils citoyens”, which should be but a first step, remains a work in progress, constantly chasing after its audience.
